It's been years since we carved our names
00:24
On a clock tower door before everything changed
00:28
We were big-eyed boys with the salt on our skin
00:34
And we'd throw our kites to the wind
00:40
And they'd fly on and on and on and on
00:46
On and on and on and on
00:54
On and on and on and on
01:00
01:04
It's been years since we whispered soft
01:28
With the torchlight on and the big light off
01:33
We were tired girls with the soap on our skin
01:39
And we'd fall asleep to the wind
01:45
And we'd dream on and on and on and on
01:51
On and on and on and on
01:58
On and on and on and on
02:04
02:08
'Cause we're circles, we're circles, you see
02:14
We go 'round, 'round the sun, in and out like the sea
02:20
I'll circle 'round you, you will circle 'round me
02:26
02:31
And in years when the torchlight thins
02:47
And the clock tower's gone and the big light dims
02:52
We'll no longer be boys, we'll have lines on our skin
02:58
And they'll throw our dust to the wind
03:05
03:09

[English]
It's been years since we carved our namesOn a clock tower door before everything changed
We were big-eyed boys with the salt on our skin
And we'd throw our kites to the wind
And they'd fly on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
It's been years since we whispered soft
With the torchlight on and the big light off
We were tired girls with the soap on our skin
And we'd fall asleep to the wind
And we'd dream on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
'Cause we're circles, we're circles, you see
We go 'round, 'round the sun, in and out like the sea
I'll circle 'round you, you will circle 'round me
And in years when the torchlight thins
And the clock tower's gone and the big light dims
We'll no longer be boys, we'll have lines on our skin
And they'll throw our dust to the wind
